Her modest looks the cottage might adorn, Sweet as the primrose peeps beneath the thorn.

Modesty is the gentle art of enhancing your charm by pretending not to be aware of it.

I love everything that's old, - old friends, old times, old manners, old books, old wine

They say women and music should never be dated

The very pink of perfection.

Aromatic plants bestow no spicy fragrance while they grow; but crush'd or trodden to the ground, diffuse their balmy sweets around.
